Hydrocyclone Refine fine particles from slurry

1. Hydrocyclone: Refine fine particles from slurry.

2. WHAT IS HYDROCYCLONE? It is mainly equipment that uses fluid pressure to centrifugal forces to generate centrifugal force. In simple words, it mainly works on the principle of weight variations like particles that are smaller in size and have a specific gravity and which have higher size have a specific gravity.

4. TYPES OF HYDROCYCLONES • XCI Hydrocyclone - It has an improved feeding and desilting throat that provides an extra benefit. • XCII Hydrocyclone- It has an involute type of throat, which increases the centrifugal force to feed the granule. • XCIII Hydrocyclone- It is equipped with a special fishtail device at the desilting throat. that adjusts the lower level of flow concentration • XCIV Hydrocyclone- It has a sophisticated structure and a desilting throat-tightening tube that is adjustable. The length of the desilting site can be altered or determined by the tightening area.

5. FACTORS EFFECTING THE PROCESS • Size: The hydrocyclone's size determines how much centrifugal force it will produce, with a smaller hydrocyclone producing finer cut-size particles and a larger hydrocyclone generating low-density particles. • Flow Rate: A lower flow rate leads in something like a wider separation, whereas an increase in flow results in a greater number of finer separations. • Inlet Size: Larger the size of the inlet more will be the capacity and the smaller the size will decrease the overall capacity. • Vortex Finder: More the size of the vortex more will be the wider separation of the particles whereas the smaller the size will provide more finite particles. • Underflow Diameter: If the hydrocyclone's diameter is not appropriately calculated with respect to tones per hour, the results may suffer.

6. INDUSTRIES USING HYDROCYCLONE PROCESS • There are many industries that use separation technology, • Hard Rocks • Sand • Coal • Industrial Minerals • Other mining Industries.

7. USES • To separate sand and tiny particles, it is employed in the paper and pulp industries or mills. • used in the oil business or in mills to separate oil from water or water from oil • In the iron industry, it is employed to separate cooling liquid from metal components. • It is utilized in the concentration and refinement of starch slurries in the industries that generate starch. • It is also used in the food processing industry.

8. ADVANTAGES • A low initial investment is required. • Increases flow rate volume • Higher Efficiency • High Versatility • Lower Maintenance Charges • High Durability.

9. DISADVANTAGES • Higher Operating costs due to pressure drop. • Unable to regulate viscous flow • A limited number of microalgal strains • Unable to produce completely dry underflow • Higher Probability of clogging the dust outlet

10. CONCLUSION Manufactured with advanced engineering and equipment matching the industry norms, Hydrocyclonesare great industrial equipment that helps to cater the different mining industries and food industries. With the involvement of the different types of hydrocyclones it has evolved to meet the different needs of different situations. Every equipment or machine goes through a deteriorating phase due to internal wear and tear but if maintained properly it can have the great added advantage to your overall business.
